Still 3-5% more possible buyers for your car by the logic I guess. Not that I agree with the system but marketing is fucked.

EDIT 2: If you have a car for sale and you want $10,000 for it are you listing it for $10,000 or $9995?
which results in selling 3 to 5 percent more units than at a price of $5.00"
Well 5% more units when I have 1 unit to sell is still 1 unit. I’m not getting more money by doing this asshole psych 101 trick. Sooo I’ll stick with being a decent person.

It’s not decent to use psychological manipulation on others in order to benefit yourself. As they said, why go r through this just to earn an extra $5 when selling a single vehicle?

You mean 5$ less

Thats just the whole second hand market strategy. First bid is always close to 70% of the asking price, so you make sure that 70% is actually what you want for it.

No, this is proving the use case different: Your logic would put the car at 9995, to present it as cheap. The actual advice is to put it at 12000, higher, to present it as expensive, and then “allow” the buyer to haggle you down.
